$500,000 'Dream' shoe fits Anika Non-i Rose

By Donna Freydkin, USA TODAY



She has been overshadowed by Beyoncé Knowles and Oscar nominee Jennifer Hudson. But Sunday night, Anika Non-i Rose, the third songbird in the Dreamgirls trio, gets her chance to glitter on the Oscars red carpet in Stuart Weitzman's Diamond Dream shoe.

Rose digs Weitzman's heels because "they're so comfortable, so when they asked me if I wanted to do it, I said absolutely." Her silver stiletto, worth $500,000, is adorned with 30 carats' worth of Kwiat diamonds.

Rose says she's not nervous about losing any of the rocks. "I'm sure someone will be standing next to me with a net and a metal detector in case one falls off," she says with a laugh.

And yes, she relishes her moment in the sun. Not being the center of attention earlier "doesn't take away from what I've done or my work or the experience I had making it. But," she emphasizes, "there are three of us."
